Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 28: Invitation to Drink Tea
after I finished my plan, actually done by Hudson anyway, we finally went to Venz. we went to Venz during the day.
there was nothing special on our journey. fortunately, there were no monsters to block.no bandits would dare to block our entourage.
jeez, it turns out they still know themselves by not touching the Royalty family's horse carriage!
in short, after one week we walked, it finally arrived!
I guess nothing has changed from Venz.
our horse-drawn carriage went straight to the Royal Area, but me and Via had to get off in the noble territory.yeah, we are not a Royalty family so no need to enter the Palace area.
after all, not everyone can enter the Palace.even the nobles, especially the lower level, if not invited to the Palace they should not set foot there.
"thank you princess for giving us a ride" I said, bowing my head as I and Via got out of the carriage.
"Ara~ don't have to thank. somehow it was my request from the beginning. ah, right also. we've been this close. so you don't have to stiffen up to me anymore okay."
"If it's the princess' wish, I won't hold back anymore."
"yups, it's good that you understand. And, would you accompany me for tea in the backyard of the palace sometime?
"of course. if it's an invitation from the princess, I don't need to hesitate." I said.wah invited for tea by a beautiful princess where I might refuse!
it seemed like the princess understood my intentions.she even chuckled.
"alright then we go first.",
after greeting each other, Princess Aurellia went straight to the Palace Area with her carriage.
all right, let's get some rest! I might be fine but Via seems exhausted.well for an 11-year-old traveling from the Randall to Venz area is indeed very tiring.
(you're a kid, too, boy)
hi Hades-sama, are you still unemployed?
me and Via finally entered the mansion. greeted by the servants and the others. Because of being my personal servant, Via needed to be a bit special.
I went straight to my room while Via seemed to be conversed with by the other maids.
"Hey, Olivia is exhausted, so let her rest first!!" I shouted to them to let Via rest.
all right, let's take a break, that's what I was thinking at first, but when I entered the room, I saw two piles of paper that were piling up. WTF, what the hell is this?! on top of that pile of paper was a letter from Charles.
'hi sir, surely you have arrived at Venz. This is a report that you must read and a document that requires your signature. don't work too hard okay :)'
CHARLES BAJ***N! Why are you giving me this paper now!!! heh alright, complaining is useless.it seems like I should lower Charles' salary later, right?
I read various reports from the Venz branch office and signed documents related to the Operation in Venz as well as documents from the La-Sa Guild. because I'm in the capital so the VIESTA operation will be more focused in Venz. meanwhile La-Sa Guild activities will continue to run as they should in Romeon.
my job is finally done!! hahhh... seems to be out in the afternoon.so busy I forgot to open the curtain on my window. When I opened it right, it was already afternoon.it seems I missed lunch.
no matter what, with my current strength, not eating and drinking for three days is no problem. ah right I forgot! I should have told Lili-chan that I was in the capital! I immediately wrote him a letter, I asked him to have tea on Wednesday.
I immediately gave the letter to the waiter to be escorted to Duke Balzaac's residence.I hope that he did not decline my invitation.I have of course brought him a lot of good sweets in my spatial bag.
****
in the afternoon of the same day, Lilianne was practicing magic in the training arena located next to her mansion.Lilianne focused on gathering mana in her palm and embodying a fiery red flame magic.
he made a fireball out of that magic and immediately fired that ball at the most distant target? highly accurate. Not only that, even those targets that had been reinforced by anti-magic materials were also shattered.
her magic instructors were surprised to see the development of Lilianne.the anti-magic material used as a target was the best material present in the kingdom.even the royalty did not have much stock for that material.
and Lilianne, a 12-year-old boy, could crush that easily.they couldn't help but be astonished.how big was this child's capacity? and how powerful was the power of this child's destruction? thinking about it made his trainers shiver.
Lilianne rested for a moment. To be honest to cast a magic like that was quite tiring.a servant came to her with a tray filled with a glass of cold water. Lilianne drank the water in one gulp.
suddenly came a servant who carried a letter.he respectfully gave the letter to Lilianne. The curious Lilianne then opened the letter,
"hai Lili-chan, how are you? I guess now you must be practicing magic with your instructors. Right? today I've been in the capital.I'm sorry if I didn't tell you before.
as my apology, would you like to come for tea behind the Randall mansion.I have prepared many of your favorite sweets.
just a few letters from me Lili-chan.if you want to give me an invitation, make a letter for it and give it to one of your servants.
Issac."
getting the letter, Lilianne's originally exhausted face, suddenly brightened instantly.she brought up an extremely beautiful sweet smile! finally Is nii-chan invited me for tea!
everyone was happy to see Lilianne's sweet smile.but from a distance, a boy was seen gritting his teeth and putting on a spiteful face.
